Slacko and Lucid/3HD have the GetFlash utility by 01micko that downloads and installs the latest flashplayer. It doesn't use any extra space--it just overwrites the old libflashplayer.so. It can be used when one hears of a new flashplayer version or just every week to be safe

Another area of need for similar addressing is with JAVA (JRE). This has such wide-spread application both in desktop as well as in browser use. It would be nice if similar solutions were equally available for this Linux addition, as well. The PPM method seems to have had some issues with JRE system updates as well as survivability over reboots.

The described GetFlash utility is attached.
Also flashplayer-11.pet is availiable -- here-- .

EDIT:
Getflash in Slacko RC, ( and most likely in Lucid 5.2.8 ) only downloads the latest version of flashplayer 10. I will bring this to 01Micko's attention later.

Edit: I have removed the attached get-flash utility as adobe has renamed the target link again. The safest bet is to just get it from the website and extract it to the /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins folder.Last edited by Tman on Mon 14 Nov 2011, 14:53; edited 2 times in total
